Why are there posts from members who don meet the vouch hurdle?
There are three reasons you’ll see posts from members that don’t meet a thread’s vouch hurdle. First, the thread-starter can change their thread’s permission at any time, so the post may have been made when the permissions were different. Second, members who are on the thread-starter’s Buddy List automatically bypass the vouch hurdle. And lastly, the post may be coming from the thread-starter, who is immune to the vouch hurdle.
